Singing while visually checking the marks and 4C〇 Note that in this example, a small conbeater 8 was used as a means for generating the video signal 10, but a 1-chip microconbeater By using an LSI device or the like, it is also possible to easily incorporate the reproducing output circuit section 3 into the cap.

Further, other display devices such as a liquid crystal display or a plasma display can be used in place of the CR/T image receiving device 9.

Furthermore, it is also possible to use a low-temperature disk, a video disk, a VTR 1IB card, a semiconductor memory element, etc. as the single recording medium.

In addition, the timing signal is recorded in the accompaniment music signal recording section (near J wa iy J + here) in the non-implemented version, and from then on, the progress speed of the song is shown as an example where the timing signal is constant, but the timing signal is recorded in the middle part. It is also possible to change the display timing of the timing mark by inserting a signal and changing the tempo during the song.

In addition, program No. 18, which includes lyrics and table T character data, is
The programs of the valley planes are all put together at the beginning of the tape for 6 channels (this is the non-signal part 2 provided between the valley planes).
It is also possible to provide 05 and 05, respectively.

Additionally, along with the start signal and tempo signal 204, an identification code signal (song name code) for identifying the accompaniment songwriters is provided, and the program (accompaniment music identification) is performed, and lyrics data including multiple sets are selected. A means for displaying the light spot mark is also implemented. In addition, the display means for displaying the light spot mark is as follows: By displaying ``N'' and changing the spacing between lowercase letters, the time interval until the timing mark indicates the next letter can be adjusted, and the character that corresponds to the timing mark can be displayed. There is also a means for setting the music so that the music is synchronized with the accompaniment music.

It is also possible to display only the timing mark by using a group of light emitting diodes arranged in a line or a group of liquid crystal display elements as a light indicating means. Previously, 10, 9, 8.・・・・・・・・・3,2.1
A means for displaying the start timing of the accompaniment music by displaying characters such as "START" is also implemented.

Further, it is also possible to implement a means for outputting print data of the lyrics by a printer in conjunction with a means for displaying the lyrics as an image using a video@display.

According to the invention, the singer can follow the accompaniment piece while checking the information of both the accompaniment piece, which is input as auditory information through the ears, and the timing mark, which is input as visual information from the singer. Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce the discrepancy with the accompaniment music. Also, visually checking the timing marks is much easier than auditorily determining the progress of the accompaniment song, and even when singing an unfamiliar song, it is easy to follow the accompaniment song. 5. I can do it.

Also, since the lyrics are displayed, it is possible to sing without looking at a printed lyrics collection.
